The pivotal steering ability of vehicles is important in the case of narrow steering space. In this study, a pivot steering system for the rescue vehicle is designed, and the 1D + 3D co-simulation model is established based on automatic dynamic analysis of mechanical systems (Adams) and advanced modelling environment for performing simulation of engineering systems (AMESim). The dynamic analysis of the pivot steering system has been compared with the theoretical calculations, which proved the correction of the model. In addition, through the simulation, the authors can hold the conclusion that the tyre cornering stiffness has a great influence on the pivot steering system.
